Hi Ingo,

	Please consider pulling,

I've added building objtool to most of the containers in my build test setup:

  perf test: Add a test case for SDT event (2016-07-13 23:09:10 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see
  cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)

Infrastructure:

- Fix up BITS_PER_LONG setting (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add fallback from ELF_C_READ_MMAP to ELF_C_READ in objtool, fixing
  the build in libelf implementations lacking that elf_begin() cmd,
  such as Alpine Linux's (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Avoid checking code drift on busybox's diff in objtool (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
